Black, Gold + Sequin Celebration Inspiration

You know, all that’s missing from this week’s inspiration board is a nice bottle of champagne. Or maybe a champagne tower, you know, with the glasses overflowing with champagne being poured down, layer by layer. Yup, that’s really all this needs.

My natural instinct is the make this into a wedding theme, but to be honest, it could work for a fabulous awards dinner, gala fundraiser, and even on a smaller scale birthday party.

Here’s what I had in mind:

Gatsby Inspired New Year’s Eve Dinner Party Ideas

I know, I know: Christmas hasn’t even happened yet! Why am I talking about New Year’s Eve already?

And I hear you, fair point. But if you are looking to throw an unforgettable New Year’s Eve party, you’ve got to get planning now! I’m channeling my inner Gatsby for this party. Black and gold, with a hint of art deco flair and a champagne tower: all the makings for a good time.

Ask your friends to dress their best in modern Gatsby inspired ensembles. This is not a costume party; this is a party worth dressing up for! Besides, “dressing up” adds a bit of fun to a party, don’t you think?

Now I put this idea board together channeling a dinner party, but if that’s not your speed, or you have too many friends you’d want to invite, this design concept will translate beautifully to any party style.

Ok, enough chit chat, more pictures. Here’s what I’m thinking:

Art Deco {Scalloped} Inspired Wedding

Happy Wednesday and welcome back!

Today’s inspiration board is so much fun. It’s a wedding idea board for the couple that wants timeless classic, with a hint of the fabulous Gatsby flair. Inspired by the Art Deco era, I’ve put together this wedding idea board focusing on bright gold and white, with scallop accents. Naturally, I’m drawn to black as a bold accent color, but a mint green, rich cobalt blue or any other color you’d want to incorporate for a pop of color would work too.

The whole idea of this Art Deco inspired wedding actually came to me because I found out that today is World Architecture Day. Now, I’m no architecture buff or anything, but one of my absolute favorite styles of design is Art Deco. I just couldn’t resist all of the beautiful inspiration!

Here’s what I had in mind for this Art Deco inspired wedding:

Golden Summer Wedding

To me, no color combination is as timeless and elegant as dark green and rich gold. The two go effortlessly well together, and look chic and perfect for any celebration – any time of the year. In the summer, when the greens have those deep shades to their leaves, and they have grown in nice and full with all of the rain from summer showers- that is when an outdoor wedding with these colors would be PERFECT!

I love the idea of a lush green outdoor wedding, with hints of crisp whites and bright golds. This sophisticated color scheme is a classic; you really can’t go wrong with it. Here’s what I had in mind:

Hot Pink + Gold Ladies Luncheon

Planning a summer luncheon for you and a group of ladies? Maybe you are part of an organization that hosts annual meetings over lunch. Spruce up your next luncheon with this fabulous color scheme: pink and gold!

And how cool would this floral infused hot pink and gold color scheme be paired up with a fundraiser for a local charity? I invasion this color palette at a women’s organization annual meeting, that has lunch and a fashion show. There are several trendy area boutiques and designers that attend and showcase their wares in the fashion show. Hot pink flowers adorn the stage, and of course each of the tables.

Here’s what I had in mind:

I love the extra sparkle the hints of gold bring. Fun tassels really liven up the theme, without going full on tropical flamingo.

Luxurious Dark Purple + Gold Wedding {Inspiration}

I’m mixing things up a little today and will be introducing a color palette section in today’s inspiration board. Having set colors goes a long way in insuring cohesion and clarity in wedding or party planning, and makes the design process a lot smoother. It only made sense to add one to color inspired inspiration and idea boards.

To kick off this new plan, I really wanted to share a palette that I am fond of: dark purple and gold. It is such a regal combination, and easily brings luxurious, rich qualities to any event it is incorporated into.

Mint Green + Gold Wedding {Inspiration}

When I was getting this week’s inspiration board ready to share with you, I ran into some trouble.

I KNEW I wanted to share an inspiration board with mint green, white, and light gold’s. Naturally, the first thing that came to my mind was a wedding, because I love wedding design. But as I was working on the inspiration board more and more, I knew this week’s post could be for more than just weddings.

I’ve been envisioning spring baby showers, perhaps an afternoon luncheon or even a birthday party with aspects of this week’s inspiration. Maybe even a bridal shower party?

So with that in mind, enjoy this week’s inspiration board:
